As most fans know, Buffett is a large and long-time shareholder in Coca-Cola (KO), and he loves his Cherry Cokes. He’s also something of a celebrity in the Middle Kingdom, where he is revered as the world’s greatest investor. So putting Buffett’s smiling face on cans of Cherry Coke as the company introduces the flavored beverage in the world’s largest market is a natural.
“I can’t think of a better way to launch Cherry Coke than with its best-known fan on the package,” Coca-Cola Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent said in a March 31 press release. “It is an honor for us to be able to feature Warren on his favorite drink as it rolls out in one of the world’s most exciting and dynamic consumer markets.”
